Hana’s sound is a seamless blend of Neo-Soul, R&B, and Pop that feels both intimate and anthemic. With dream-like vocals that float effortlessly through her tracks, the London-based artist is quickly carving out her space in the music scene. Whether it’s her hypnotic production or her emotionally charged lyrics, Hana has been captivating listeners with every note.

This rising star isn’t just about streaming numbers though, she’s been tearing up live stages, most recently selling out a headline show at Next Door Records. Her live presence is as magnetic as her recordings, and she’s been making waves across radio too, with spins on BBC Introducing, Reprezent, Future Hits, and the Global Soul Chart.

Hana’s debut EP, Until It Isn’t, is a sonic journey through the highs and lows of relationships, exploring themes of emotional distance and the power of communication. On the back of that, she also dropped "YOUR TIME" with Willow Newman earlier in 2023 which landed Spotify editorial playlist placement.

Of course, her 2019 smash hit "Fantasy" put her firmly on the map — and it's still got everyone talking. Now, she’s gearing up to bless our ears again, tapping deep into her Egyptian roots for her second EP, landing in 2025.

One thing’s for sure — Hana’s sound isn’t just heard, it’s felt. And it’s clear she’s got the kind of sound that stays with you long after the song ends.
